Description

This entry is in review and will be updated in 2026!
The information about this Apple-1 and #37 seems to be mixed. Mike Willegal had both listed in his registry but text and images are mixed. All information about this Apple-1 might be incorrect. Everything is in review!

Owner has added an interface to a selectric printer.
Owner complained to Apple about limited software availablity - Apple offered to exchange his unit and $400 for an Apple II - see this remarkable letter from Jobs about it.
